The Professor's Assassin by Matthew Pearl
3.0
3 stars.
I think that this story could have benefitted from being longer. The answer to the story's main question is unraveled far too quickly, and the ending feels abrupt. However, given that this is based on a historical event, I also don't feel it could have been longer.
I enjoyed the characters in this story a lot. Harrison infuriated me (in a believable way), and Jack was my favorite.
I am looking forward to diving into the longer story — The Technologists — that this one serves as a prequel for.
